Columbus Sufi Circle: Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi (MTO) Shahmaghsoudi Zikr, 11/14, 7 p.m. at St. Stephen's

The Three Sufi Purposes

To realize and spread the knowledge of unity, the religion of love and wisdom, so that the bias of faiths and beliefs may of itself fall way, the human heart may overflow with love, and all hatred caused by distinctions and differences may be rooted out

To discover the light and power latent in humankind, the secret of all religion, the power of mysticism, and the essence of philosophy, without interfering with customs or beliefs

To help bring the world's two opposite poles, East and West, closer together by the interchange of thought and ideals that the universal brother-sisterhood may form of itself, and people may meet with people beyond the narrow national and racial boundaries.
